Starting point is 00:03:55 So please get comfortable in a place where you can safely go to sleep. and you will be listening to the sound of my voice as I guide you in this meditation and I would like you to put one hand on your stomach and one hand on your chest and feel where the breathing is coming from you want to make sure that the breathing is emanating from the stomach
Starting point is 00:04:28 and not coming from the air. upper chest area. If it is coming from the upper chest area, then we know we are not breathing efficiently or deeply. We want to be making sure that the breathing is happening through our stomach and that's deep belly breathing, where we breathe efficiently and the oxygen and air circulates to the deep parts of our lungs. If we use our upper chest area
Starting point is 00:05:03 then that means we are shallow breathing and shallow breathing is not good as it means that oxygen cannot bind with the red blood cells because your CO2 levels will be not in sync with your body and that is why it is really important to do slow, deep breathing
Starting point is 00:05:25 breathing breathing unnecessarily fastly actually makes the red cells not bind with the oxygen cells efficiently and that is one of the reasons why anxieties and stresses can increase so imagine your hand on your stomach gently rising and falling if it's very still and calm that's great but you want to make sure that that that hand is gently rising and falling and your energy is coming from your stomach the deep breaths in your stomach and take a deep breath into the count of five one two three four then hold for two
Starting point is 00:06:25 seconds and then let go like a balloon gently deflating coming out of your lungs in one smooth motion and try on every exhale to gently let go and let the air relax out of your lungs and this will help you to get in to this deep cycle of breathing. Always want to make sure that the exhale is longer than the inhale. It means our blood chemistry will be in sync with our body to reduce. anxieties, calming energy to the body. And as we take these deep breaths, I want you to imagine the muscles in your forehead and head gently smoothing, detensing and relaxing.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Any lines you have in your forehead are going now, smoothing out as you let the tension drop. And this feeling moves down into your eyelids now. And all the little muscles around your eyes gently detents as well. And the eyelids don't feel tight on your eyes anymore. They just feel like gentle sheets. Just draping over your eyelids with no tension.
Starting point is 00:08:15 No clenching. Little muscles around your eyes. Smooth out. and this feeling moves down into the rest of your face, into your jaw, and your jaw can slightly open if you'd wish, as you feel complete relaxation, all in your jaw. Your head and whole face feels so relaxed and at ease. It feels amazing, it feels so good,
Starting point is 00:08:54 because this time is just for you. If you are needed urgently in any way, you can always go and attend to that. But you have to remember that this time is just for you. To be at peace and to feel so nice and so good. And as you take a deep breath in and out, you feel the energy flow into your neck, back and lower back. The feeling of complete relaxation moves in these areas. Detensing, removing any pain or niggles, any stresses or strains or pains from the day.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Gently move and dissipate as this relaxing feeling moves from your neck to your upper back, to your lower back, and then down and up, massaging all parts of your back area. And then you feel that energy move through you to your upper chest, to your belly. It feels so nice, it feels so good. And that energy congregates around your stomach for a little while. relaxing those stomach muscles which are doing those deep and impact the energy moves and the energy now
Starting point is 00:10:54 this healing deep penetrating energy goes and moves down into your hips and the top of your legs again removing any any tension you have here any pain pain from the day just disappears as it soothes, relaxes and detenses all your muscles and the feeling moves down from the top of your legs, down into your calves and back and forth and up and down and to and throw, finally going deeper into your toes and your feet. and you may want to give your toes a little wriggle and you know from the top of your head down all the way to the tips of your toes and then back up again this feeling of relaxation is perfect it is sublime it feels amazing so peaceful and so at ease and in your mind
Starting point is 00:12:21 mind's eye now as you look outwards you may see the dark of your eyes closed I want you to imagine in your mind's eye a color that comes to you that you want to choose yourself and in the black of your mind's eye you see in the distance a little color the color you've chosen like a little coin in the distance you see it vividly and you see it growing and it it grows and grows and gets larger and larger so it's eventually filling up all the black in your mind's eye and becoming that vibrant colour and you realise now that this colour you have chosen is a healing colour and it's still growing and it's still getting larger in your mind's eye and all the black is going now
Starting point is 00:13:51 and it's becoming intense and large with this colour and you know that this colour can heal you and make you feel more at ease and at peace now we're just overflowing from the black of your mind's eye and you feel it coming out of your forehead and now that you feel this colour is going into your head and into your muscles again and just as the healing energy you relaxed and made you a peace
Starting point is 00:14:31 this colour healing energy is twice deeply relaxing your muscles and body that colour is absorbing all into your muscles it's even going into your cells at a cellular level and this colour flows again into your body, into your neck, into your back, into your chest, into your stomach. And you know that it is making you doubly deeper relaxed.
Starting point is 00:15:09 You feel so relaxed, so at ease. You didn't think that you could feel even more relaxed, even more doubly relaxed than you do. right now. It feels wonderful that this colour is flowing all throughout your upper chest and upper torso and now it goes into your legs, into your calves, into your thighs, into your toes. And you can feel it going from your back to your stomach through every part of your body. relaxing everything, relaxing all the muscles. And you're feeling doubly relaxed.
Starting point is 00:16:08 As the healing light, the healing colour fills you completely. This is the colour you have chosen. You can see it so vividly moving through your body. Everything it touches, it relaxes. It really is a truly magical and healing experience. And this is your colour now. This is your healing light energy because all colour comes from light.
Starting point is 00:16:51 You're very happy to know that you have this colour with you always. A colour that you can visionise and it can come and be part of you. Whenever you need it, that's a wonderful feeling that you can bring into your mind's eye. Whenever you want, whenever you do need it. Do you feel it, feeling gently in your body now? So healed, so relaxed, so at ease. And it helps you do the deep breathing we were doing earlier.
Starting point is 00:17:41 You feel it in your lungs, going into your bloodstream, coming as an inhale and leaving as an exhale out into the universe. Truly is magical and serene, and you've done this just yourself. Just for you, because you are a good, creative person.
